i love this recipe! i've made it many times, and it's nice for outdoors picnics, because there's no mayo, it doesnt need refrigeration (of course overnight, it's better). I omit the lemon juice and celery, and add crushed walnuts. I also ran a bit short on the dressing, so keep that in mind. one downside (and there's no way to avoid it) is that it doesn't refrigerate that well... it's fine for a day or two, but the penne really soaks up the dressing, and it can get a little dry. just keep that in mind, because this makes a lot of yummy salad!

We really liked this the first time I made it, but some people aren't fond of celery. The next time I made it I substituted 1 cup toasted slivered almonds for the celery and it was a big hit with everyone. This is a great recipe to take to a potluck.

Easy and very good. I used rotisserie chicken from the supermarket deli.

I was doubling the batch and ran short of poppy seed dressing, so added a can of lemon pie filling along with all the other recipe ingredients. Came out a little sweeter but tasted great and got good reviews.

Sounded great so I chose to make it for a cookout. Yum! I did add to it tho - Cheese that I cubed, sliced olives, then I cut up (small pieces)steamed broccoli - cooled. I added a little more dressing since I added more veggies (& broccoli soaks up liquid!)So delicious and I was asked to make for Memorial Day Cookout as well! I might add slightly sauteed zucchini &/or summer squash next time!
